Pete that is a great artical, I enjoyed reading that at 3 am on the night shift while we are underway to Desoto Canyon 432 to ride Bonnie out. I have a couple of those fly rods myself, hand me downs from my dad and even a heavy one I bought to fish for Reds in the bay and Grand Isle. I never have caught any Reds, but I have caught a few Rainbows on summer trips to Branson, MO. with my folks. I guess I am going to have to break out those rods and atleast clean them up, there might be a few bream at Larto that would hit a poping bug.
